Steven Covey has said it and many others have too. " Live out your imagination, not your history."
In all my years, I would have never imagined that people would STOP seeing color , but see the character of a man/woman!
As a teacher, I don't see color when I look out over my classroom. I see faces of hope!
CHANGE, HOPE...FAITH lives!! In God we can only trust!
It is about time that we as a country/planet realize that we need each other no matter what color we are or our beliefs.
Ok, so now Barack Obama has been elected. It is imperative that we as a nation support him. It does not matter if you voted for him or NOT- he has been elected the next President of the United States and YOU have a responsibilty to support him. Bury your hatred and unkindness, step up to the plate and be a team player.
In spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, Americans still have HOPE. There are more people than not that want to forget looking at a person's color and they realized that we are all created equally. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
Maybe, I will see and live in a country where Not only will my child but me as well, will live in a nation where I will not be judged by the color of my skin but by the content of my character.
Ok America- we have a challenge, let's meet it!

My 4th Grade students' first blog
As promised, I am show casing the work that my students are doing in class.
This is their first blog!
The STAR badges for this month go to:
Jacob H. and Daniel P. for the best penmanship.
I have selected 2 other students to “show case” in our blog. Each student wrote a descriptive paragraph of a person, place or thing. They published their individual paragraphs in a brochure. Hat's off to Sarah R. and Abigail F. These two students did exceptionally well. I hope you enjoy their great work, as much as I did.
1. Cape Henlopen State Park Beach by Sarah R.
Have you ever seen beach waves at Cape Henlopen? Well, come on down. When you step into Cape Henlopen Beach you forget about all the other beaches. There are lots of sights to see, like shiney dolphins. They look like they are flying throught the air. When you make sand castles, you can feel the rough sand between your fingers. You can exactly smell the sweet smell of salt water. You hear the relaxing waves crash by the beach. It is a great place to boogie board. This is why Cape Henlopen is agood place to go.
2. Paradise Cove by Abigail F.
Splash comes the fish, you can hear them at Paradise Cove, in the wonderful Bahamas. Paradise Cove is the most wonderful place to go fishing and snorkeling. The salty sea water is what I smell the most, but there is something else I smell. I smell a delicious hamburger that has just gotten off of the grill. When I went all the way to the snack bat, I was amazed that hamburgers, hotdogs, and grilled cheese sandwiches were grilling at the same time. I wanted everything. At Paradise Cove it is peace and quiet and also they have nice music. You can touch fish, coral, sand and sea shells. I want to go back to Paradise Cove.
Yeah- Abi F and Sarah R.!!!

Who Am I?
- L
- I won't define myself as to what I am to others but rather: what I am to myself. I most enjoy my role as a mommy to a 16 year old daughter. BUT I am much more than a mother. I am a human being still searching for so many other things, that life has to offer. I don't want to define my destiny, for God has already done that for me. I will strive hard to never give up on my dreams and or goals. Someday, I would love to travel the world and write novels. My hobbies are boxers, gardening, traveling, reading, consulting, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and enjoying the company of true friends on a beach.
